FIGURE 2.

Changes in BMI (95% CI) per 1-serving/d increase in sugar-sweetened beverages during the time period specified in each study from prospective cohort studies in children. Horizontal lines denote 95% CIs; solid diamonds represent the point estimate of each study. Open diamonds represent pooled estimates, and the dashed line denotes the point estimate of the pooled results from the random-effects model (D+L). Study weights are from the random-effects analysis (D+L). Pooled estimates from the random-effects analysis (D + L) and the fixed-effects analysis (I-V) are shown based on 15 cohort studies (n = 25,745). The I² and P values for heterogeneity are shown. D+L, DerSimonian and Laird; I-V, inverse variance.
